In this episode of Slobodni, I speak with Susan Kokinda about Donald Trump’s political doctrine, the deeper structure of the current global order, and the clash between national sovereignty and globalist governance.
Instead of treating Trump as either a hero or a villain, this conversation takes a different path: analysis. We discuss the historical roots of the postwar order, the role of the British imperial model, the rise of financial globalism, deindustrialization in the United States, the strategic use of tariffs, the rebuilding of domestic industry, and the economic meaning of the “America First” agenda.
Susan Kokinda explains why she sees Trump’s second-term policies as a break with the old globalist framework, with special attention to manufacturing, trade, debt, financial restructuring, energy policy, artificial intelligence, censorship, Europe’s loss of sovereignty, and the war in Ukraine.
We also discuss:
the long historical background of conflict in the Middle East
Venezuela and the difference between regime-change politics and strategic statecraft
the 2008 financial crisis and the role of speculative finance
China’s rise through globalist economic design
Davos, the World Economic Forum, and the rejection of globalization
digital currencies, stablecoins, and the danger of financial control
AI as a tool of either human progress or centralized domination
freedom of speech, media narratives, and why Trump is treated with such hostility by mainstream institutions
what Europe may face under the new geopolitical reality of “America First”
This interview is not about cheering for a political camp. It is about trying to understand the forces behind major political moves before judging them. In a media environment dominated by instant reactions, propaganda, and emotional tribalism, the goal here is to slow down, examine the larger picture, and let viewers think for themselves.
If you are tired of superficial commentary and want a deeper geopolitical and geo-economic perspective on Trump, Europe, war, sovereignty, and the future of the West, this episode is for you.
